When Hip Hop was Hip Hop Thread...

[ch_br]

Yea, some may think this is someone with an old man mentality.

But hip hop is mostly dead, at least in mainstream.

I figured this thread could be a place for people to post up their favorite hip hop artists, albums, songs, etc.

I know there's a lot of love for creative, original, and quality hip hop... So let's see it

I loved their first album, it was a classic.

Andre Nickatina doesn't seem to get much play outside of the Bay Area:

I went to an old school hip hop concert a few years back featuring Slick Rick and KRS-One. Slick Rick actually forgot the lyrics to Children's Story midway through
